Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vacuum insulation panel, a heat-insulating box including the vacuum insulation panel, and a method for producing a vacuum insulation panel.
- a vacuum insulation panel is prepared by forming a bag with two film laminates having gas barrier properties and, in the bag, placing a core material having a high volume ratio of gas phase and having minute gaps, such as a glass fiber and a silica powder, followed by hermetically enclosing the core material under reduced pressure.
- the gas has low thermal conductivity.
- the diameter of the gaps is as small as about 1 mm, the influence of convection heat transfer is negligible.
- the influence of radiation components is very small and therefore thermal conduction of the vacuum insulation panel is attributable to heat transfer within solid of the core material and thermal conduction in a minimal amount of gas remaining in the gaps, allowing the vacuum insulation panel to have significantly high insulating effect compared with the insulating effect of a normal-pressure insulating panel such as urethane foam and glass wool.
- the film laminate is composed of a gas barrier film for preventing permeation of gas or water vapor, a protective film for protecting one side of the gas barrier film, and a heat-sealing film provided on the other side of the gas barrier film for use to form the film laminate into a bag shape.
- the vacuum insulation panel having this configuration allows permeation of gas or water vapor from the atmosphere through the heat-sealing film or the gas barrier film to reduce the degree of vacuum inside the vacuum insulation panel and, as a result, becomes greatly affected by thermal conduction of gas. Because of this, the insulating effect of the vacuum insulation panel deteriorates year after year, which presents a problem.
- a vacuum insulation panel which is prepared by enclosing an insulation core material in a packaging bag, the bag being formed of a multilayered film composed of a polyethylene terephthalate film layer, a nylon film layer, an aluminum foil layer, and a high-density polyethylene film layer and a multilayered film composed of a barrier film layer having a plurality of inorganic oxide-deposited layers, a nylon film layer, a barrier film layer having a plurality of inorganic oxide-deposited layer, and a high-density polyethylene film layer, the bag having the high-density polyethylene film layers on its interior side, and then hermetically seal a heat-insulating core panel in the bag to create a vacuum inside the bag (see PTL 1, for example).
- another vacuum heat-insulating panel which is prepared by forming exterior skins from a film having a gas barrier layer and an adhesive layer, and bonding one piece of the adhesive layer to another piece of the adhesive layer at sealing parts of the exterior skins to form a bonding portion part of which is thinned to form a thinned streak (see PTL 2, for example).
- FIG. 14 is a sectional view of the vacuum heat-insulating panel disclosed in PTL 2.
- FIG. 15 is a sectional view of a sealing jig used to produce the vacuum heat-insulating panel shown in FIG. 14 .
- the vacuum heat-insulating panel 101 disclosed in PTL 2 includes an outer skin member 104 having a gas barrier layer 102 and an adhesive layer 103 , and, at the sealing part of the outer skin member 104 , part of the adhesive layer 103 is thinned to form a thinned streak 105 .
- the thinned streak 105 is formed on the entire circumference of the outer skin member 104 by pressing part of the outer skin member 104 of the sealing part particularly strongly using a sealing jig 106 shown in FIG. 15 .
- High-density polyethylene is inferior to low-density polyethylene in terms of sealing properties to resist foreign matter. Therefore, when a chip of a fibrous core material, if used together with high-density polyethylene, is heat sealed together with a heat-sealing film, the chip of the core material may not be thoroughly covered with the heat-sealing film. Because of this, the vacuum insulation panel disclosed in PTL 1 where high-density polyethylene film layers are provided in both of the two film laminates can allow gas or water vapor to easily enter through gaps between the chip of the core material and the heat-sealing film, which presents a problem, referred to as a first problem.
- High-density polyethylene is inferior to low-density polyethylene in terms of flexibility as well.
- the vacuum insulation panel disclosed in PTL 1 may allow gas or water vapor to enter through the through hole, which presents a problem, referred to as a second problem.
- the sealing jig 106 having a sharply-edged protrusion is used for pressing during production as shown in FIG. 15 and, as a result, a sharp edge 107 may form in the thinned streak 105 .
- the sharp edge 107 if formed, in the thinned streak 105 may cause cracks and allow atmospheric gas components to easily enter the vacuum heat-insulating panel 101 through the cracks over time, which presents a problem, referred to as a third problem.
- the protrusion is arranged to face another as viewed from the thickness direction of the vacuum heat-insulating panel and therefore the thinned streak 105 tends to have the sharp edge 107 .
- the sharp edge 107 herein refers to a sharply-edged part (a part having great curvature), as seen in a cross section of the sealing part taken from a plane parallel to the thickness direction of the outer skin member 104 , that is formed on the boundary or near the boundary of the thinned streak 105 where the thickness of the adhesive layer 103 changes.

- the first film laminate having the first heat-sealing layer with relatively low density can provide improvement in the sealing properties to resist foreign matter and the pinhole resistance, while the second film laminate having the second heat-sealing layer with relatively high density can regulate the amount of gas or water vapor entering the vacuum insulation panel so as to maintain the insulating effect at a high level for an extended period of time.

- the first heat-sealing layer having lower density can give, to the vacuum insulation panel, sealing properties to resist foreign matter and pinhole resistance to prevent glass from making pinholes, while the second heat-sealing layer having higher density can provide the panel with the effect, for example, of regulating the amount of gas or water vapor entering the vacuum insulation panel.
- a method for producing the vacuum insulation panel according to Embodiment 1 includes:(A) preparing the first film laminate having the first heat-sealing layer on the joining side and the second film laminate having the second heat-sealing layer on the joining side, the density of the second heat-sealing layer being higher than the density of the first heat-sealing layer, (B) arranging the first film laminate and the second film laminate so that the joining side of the first film laminate and the joining side of the second film laminate are in contact with each other to prepare a multilayered assembly, and (C) subjecting at least part of a peripheral portion of the multilayered assembly to thermocompression so as to heat seal the first heat-sealing layer and the second heat-sealing layer together.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of the configuration of a vacuum insulation panel according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of a sealed portion of the vacuum insulation panel shown in FIG. 1 .
- a vacuum insulation panel 1 is rectangular and includes a core material 2 containing a fiber, an adsorbent 3 , a first film laminate 4 a, and a second film laminate 4 b.
- the core material 2 and the adsorbent 3 are hermetically enclosed within a bag formed with the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b, under reduced pressure.
- the vacuum insulation panel 1 includes a sealed portion 8 formed by heat sealing a peripheral portion of the first film laminate 4 a and a peripheral portion of the second film laminate 4 b together.
- a part of the sealed portion 8 where a first heat-sealing layer 5 a, to be described below, of the first film laminate 4 a and a second heat-sealing layer 5 b, to be described below, of the second film laminate 4 b form a single layer through heat sealing is sometimes called a heat-sealing layer 5 .
- the core material 2 serves as an aggregate to form minute gaps within the vacuum insulation panel 1 and, after a vacuum is drawn, forms an insulation portion of the vacuum insulation panel 1 .
- a glass fiber a glass wool, for example
- the core material 2 is not limited to a glass fiber that is used in Embodiment 1. Instead, a known material including an inorganic fiber such as rock wool, an alumina fiber, and a metal fiber and a polyethylene terephthalate fiber may be used, for example.
- a metal fiber when used, may be formed of a metal having relatively low thermal conductivity among metals.
- a glass wool is desirably used because its fiber has high elasticity and low thermal conductivity and its industrial production is inexpensive.
- the thermal conductivity of the vacuum insulation panel tends to decrease as the diameter of the fiber decreases, and therefore the fiber having the smallest diameter possible is desirable.
- such a fiber is not generally used and therefore can be costly. Because of this, it is more desirable to use a glass wool that is an assembly of relatively inexpensive fibers having an average diameter of about 3 ⁇ m to about 6 ⁇ m generally used as a fiber in a vacuum insulation panel.
- the adsorbent 3 serves to adsorb and remove a residual gas component released by vacuum packaging from the minute gaps in the core material 2 into the mass of the vacuum insulation panel 1 and adsorb and remove moisture or gas entering the vacuum insulation panel 1 .
- Examples of the adsorbent 3 include a moisture adsorbent for adsorbing and removing moisture and a gas adsorbent for adsorbing gases such as the atmospheric gas.
- the moisture adsorbent a chemical adsorbing substance such as calcium oxide and magnesium oxide or a physical adsorbing substance such as zeolite can be used, for example.
- the gas adsorbent is composed of an adsorbing material capable of adsorbing a non-condensing gas component contained in gas and a container.
- the adsorbing material examples include alloys of zirconium, vanadium, and tungsten, alloys of iron, manganese, yttrium, lanthanum, and a single rare earth element, Ba-Li alloys, and zeolite having a metal ion through ion exchange. With its ability to adsorb nitrogen, which accounts for about 75% of the air, at normal temperature, each of these adsorbing materials can achieve a high degree of vacuum in the interior of the vacuum insulation panel 1 when used as the adsorbent 3 .
- Examples of the material to form the container include metal materials such as aluminum, iron, copper, and stainless steel and, in view of cost and ease of handling, aluminum is particularly desirable.
- the first film laminate 4 a includes the first heat-sealing layer 5 a, a gas barrier layer 6 a, and a surface protective layer 7 a in this order from the joining side toward the non-joining side
- the second film laminate 4 b includes the second heat-sealing layer 5 b, a gas barrier layer 6 b, and a surface protective layer 7 b in this order from the joining side toward the non-joining side.
- the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b serve to inhibit the atmospheric gas from entering the vacuum insulation panel 1 from outside and therefore maintain the degree of vacuum in the interior of the vacuum insulation panel 1 .
- the first heat-sealing layer 5 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b serve to melt and seal the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b together to maintain the degree of vacuum in the interior of the vacuum insulation panel 1 .
- the first heat-sealing layer 5 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b also serve to protect the gas barrier layers 6 a and 6 b from being pierced or the like by the core material 2 or the adsorbent 3 from the interior of the vacuum insulation panel 1 .
- the first heat-sealing layer 5 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b are formed of a heat-sealing film that is made of a thermoplastic resin.
- the density of the first heat-sealing layer 5 a is lower than the density of the second heat-sealing layer 5 b.
- the material of the heat-sealing film is not particularly limited, and can be a thermoplastic resin such as low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, medium-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyacrylonitrile, or a mixture thereof.
- polyethylene is desirably selected because it is inexpensive and easily laminated.
- the first heat-sealing layer 5 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b may be formed of the same material or may be formed of different materials.
- the density of the first heat-sealing layer 5 a may be 0.910 to 0.925 g/cm 3 .
- the density of the second heat-sealing layer 5 b may be 0.935 to 0.950 g/cm 3 .
- Each of the gas barrier layer 6 a and the gas barrier layer 6 b is a layer formed of one, two, or more kinds of films having excellent barrier properties and gives excellent gas barrier properties to the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b.
- metal foil such as aluminum foil and copper foil
- a film prepared by depositing an atom of a metal such as aluminum and copper or a metal oxide such as alumina and silica to a polyethylene terephthalate film or to an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer via evaporation, or a film prepared by coating a surface to which a metal atom or a metal oxide has been deposited by evaporation can be used, for example.
- the gas barrier layer 6 a and the gas barrier layer 6 b are formed of metal foil.
- the surface protective layer 7 a and the surface protective layer 7 b serve to prevent the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b, in particular the gas barrier layers 6 a and 6 b, respectively, from having scratches or breaks caused by external force.
- the surface protective layer 7 a and the surface protective layer 7 b a known material such as a nylon film, a polyethylene terephthalate film, and a polypropylene film can be used.
- One kind of the films may be overlaid, or two or more kinds of the films may be overlaid.
- the surface protective layer 7 a is composed of two films 70 a and 71 a overlaid
- the surface protective layer 7 b is composed of two films 70 b and 71 b overlaid.
- the first film laminate 4 a in a rectangular shape and the second film laminate 4 b in a rectangular shape are prepared. Then, the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b are arranged so that the first heat-sealing layer 5 a of the first film laminate 4 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b of the second film laminate 4 b face each other, thereby preparing the multilayered assembly.
- Heat and pressure are then applied to three sides of the peripheral portions of the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b so as to heat seal the first heat-sealing layer 5 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b together, thereby preparing a bag-shaped film laminate.
- the core material 2 and the adsorbent 3 Into the bag-shaped film laminate through its opening are inserted the core material 2 and the adsorbent 3 . While a vacuum is being drawn in the bag-shaped film laminate with a vacuum packaging device, the first heat-sealing layer 5 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b are heat sealed together at the opening to give the vacuum insulation panel 1 .
- the following shows the results of a test for evaluating effects of the vacuum insulation panel 1 according to Embodiment 1 when the density of its heat-sealing layer was changed.
- Comparative Example 1 evaluated a linear low-density polyethylene film (density: 0.923 g/cm 3 ) generally used as a heat-sealing layer in a vacuum insulation panel.
- a linear low-density polyethylene film density: 0.923 g/cm 3
- the sample was evaluated as superior to Comparative Example 1.
- a nylon film 70 a of 15- ⁇ m thick and a nylon film 71 a of 25- ⁇ m thick were used as a surface protective layer 7 a, a piece of aluminum foil of 6- ⁇ m thick was used as a gas barrier layer 6 a, and a linear low-density polyethylene film (density: 0.923 g/cm 3 ) of 50- ⁇ m thick was used as a first heat-sealing layer 5 a.
- the layers were bonded together with a urethane-based adhesive to prepare a first film laminate 4 a.
- a nylon film 70 b of 15- ⁇ m thick and a nylon film 71 b of 25- ⁇ m thick were used as a surface protective layer 7 b, a piece of aluminum foil of 6- ⁇ m thick was used as a gas barrier layer 6 b, and a linear low-density polyethylene film (density: 0.935 g/cm 3 ) of 50- ⁇ m thick was used as a second heat-sealing layer 5 b.
- the layers were bonded together with a urethane-based adhesive to prepare a second film laminate 4 b.
- the resulting first film laminate 4 a and the resulting second film laminate 4 b were arranged so that the first heat-sealing layer 5 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b faced each other, followed by heat sealing.
- the heat-sealing strength for a width of 15 mm measured 82.4 N.
- a pinhole detector (a pinhole detector TRC-220A (manufactured by Sanko Electronic Laboratory Co., Ltd.), the same apparatus was used in examples and comparative examples below) was used to count pinholes.
- the number of pinholes was 2.1 per 1 m 2 , indicating that the resulting pinhole resistance was comparable to the pinhole resistance in Comparative Example 1.
- ten vacuum insulation panels 1 were prepared.
- the thermal conductivity of the vacuum insulation panels 1 was measured with a thermal conductivity analyzer (a thermal conductivity measuring device HC-074 300 (manufactured by EKO Instruments), the same apparatus was used in examples and comparative examples below), giving an average value of 0.0020 W/mK.
- the thermal conductivity of the vacuum insulation panels 1 was measured again after allowing the panels to stand in a thermostat at 60° C. for 1 month, giving an average value of 0.0039 W/mK.

- the layers were bonded together with a urethane-based adhesive to prepare a first film laminate 4 a.
- a nylon film 70 b of 15- ⁇ m thick and a nylon film 71 b of 25- ⁇ m thick were used as a surface protective layer 7 b, a piece of aluminum foil of 6- ⁇ m thick was used as a gas barrier layer 6 b, and a medium-density polyethylene film (density: 0.945 g/cm 3 ) of 50- ⁇ m thick was used as a second heat-sealing layer 5 b.
- the layers were bonded together with a urethane-based adhesive to prepare a second film laminate 4 b.
- the resulting first film laminate 4 a and the resulting second film laminate 4 b were arranged so that the first heat-sealing layer 5 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b faced each other, followed by heat sealing.

This heat-sealing strength was higher by 48.6% than the heat-sealing strength in Comparative Example 3 where the heat-sealing layers contained medium-density polyethylene alone. This phenomenon was attributable to the molecular structure of polyethylene.
- Polyethylene has side chains that are branched from an ethylene chain as the main chain.
- the polyethylene having lower density has more side chains than the polyethylene having higher density and therefore, when the polyethylene having lower density and the polyethylene having higher density were heat sealed together, side chains of the polyethylene having lower density were readily bonded to the main chain of the polyethylene having higher density to increase the heat-sealing strength.
- ten vacuum insulation panels 1 were prepared.
- the thermal conductivity of the vacuum insulation panels 1 was measured with a thermal conductivity analyzer, giving an average value of 0.0022 W/mK.
- the thermal conductivity of the vacuum insulation panels 1 was measured again after allowing the panels to stand in a thermostat at 60° C. for 1 month, giving an average value of 0.0035 W/mK. This confirmed that deterioration caused by the heat resistance test was smaller than in Comparative Example 1.

- the heat-sealing strength for a width of 15 mm measured 57.8 N. This heat-sealing strength was higher by 68.5% than the heat-sealing strength in Comparative Example 3 where the heat-sealing layers contained high-density polyethylene alone. This phenomenon was attributable to the molecular structure of polyethylene, as in Example 2.
- Polyethylene has side chains that are branched from an ethylene chain as the main chain.
- the phenomenon above is considered to be explained as follows; the polyethylene having lower density has more side chains than the polyethylene having higher density and therefore, when the polyethylene having lower density and the polyethylene having higher density were heat sealed together, side chains of the polyethylene having lower density were readily bonded to the main chain of the polyethylene having higher density to increase the heat-sealing strength.

- the thermal conductivity of this vacuum insulation panel 1 measured with a thermal conductivity analyzer was 0.0322 W/mK. Because of the potential inability of this vacuum insulation panel 1 to maintain its insulating effect for an extended period of time, a heat resistance test of allowing the panels to stand in a thermostat at 60° C. for 1 month was cancelled.

Therefore, even though the film laminate having a deposited film has a second heat-sealing layer having relatively high density formed thereto, degradation in the pinhole resistance can be kept to a minimum.

- a vacuum insulation panel according to Embodiment 3 unlike the vacuum insulation panel according to Embodiment 1 or 2, further includes: a sealed portion including a heat-sealing layer formed through heat sealing of the joining side of a peripheral portion of a first heat-sealing layer with the joining side of a peripheral portion of a second heat-sealing layer, so that a core material is hermetically enclosed under reduced pressure, in which the sealed portion has a corrugated shape with the ridge height of the non-joining side of the first heat-sealing layer being greater than the ridge height of the non-joining side of the second heat-sealing layer, and the sealed portion includes a first concave portion depressed in the direction from the first film laminate toward the second film laminate and a second concave portion depressed in the direction from the second film laminate toward the first film laminate, a most-depressed portion of the first concave portion includes a thin portion where the heat-sealing layer is thinner than the heat-sealing layer surrounding
- the vacuum insulation panel according to Embodiment 3 can maintain excellent hermeticity for an extended period of time.
- the sealed portion has a corrugated shape with the arched first concave portion and the arched second concave portion. Because of this, a sharp edge that is formed in the vacuum heat-insulating panel disclosed in PTL 1 rarely forms.
- metal foil when metal foil is used as a gas barrier layer, stress is less likely to be applied locally in the metal foil and therefore incidence of cracks within the metal foil is extremely low.
- the sealed portion has a corrugated shape with the arched first concave portion and the arched second concave portion. Therefore, the thickness of the heat-sealing layer increases and decreases continuously and gradually and, then, the strength of the sealed portion also increases and decreases continuously and gradually. Accordingly, stress is less likely to be applied locally in the thin portion of the heat-sealing layer. As a result, incidence of cracks within the thin portion of the heat-sealing layer and within the film laminate near the thin portion is extremely low or incidence of breaks within the sealed portion is extremely low.
- the method for producing the vacuum insulation panel according to Embodiment 3 includes: (A) preparing the first film laminate having the first heat-sealing layer on the joining side and the second film laminate having the second heat-sealing layer on the joining side, the density of the second heat-sealing layer being higher than the density of the first heat-sealing layer, (B) arranging the first film laminate and the second film laminate so that the joining side of the first film laminate and the joining side of the second film laminate are in contact with each other, to prepare a multilayered assembly, and (C) subjecting at least part of a peripheral portion of the multilayered assembly to thermocompression so as to heat seal the first heat-sealing layer and the second heat-sealing layer together, in which in the step (C), heat and pressure are applied to the non-joining side of the first film laminate with a first thermocompression jig having a protrusion with an arched tip and heat and pressure are applied to the non-joining side of the second film laminate with

- a vacuum insulation panel 1 according to Embodiment 3 has the same fundamental configuration as that of the vacuum insulation panel 1 according to Embodiment 1 except that a sealed portion 8 has a corrugated shape. Specifically, in the sealed portion 8 , the ridge height of the non-joining side of a first heat-sealing layer 5 a of a heat-sealing layer 5 is greater than the ridge height of the non-joining side of a second heat-sealing layer 5 b of the heat-sealing layer 5 .

- the first concave portion 9 a and the second concave portion 9 b are arranged alternately. In other words, the first concave portion 9 a and the second concave portion 9 b are not arranged perpendicular to each other as viewed from the thickness direction of the vacuum insulation panel 1 .
- the first concave portion 9 a (the second concave portion 9 b ) on a side is arranged perpendicular to another in Embodiment 3, this is not limitative.
- the first concave portion 9 a (the second concave portion 9 b ) may be arranged not to cross another.
- first concave portion 9 a (the second concave portion 9 b ) is provided on each of the four sides in Embodiment 3, this is not limitative.
- the first concave portion 9 a (the second concave portion 9 b ) is simply required to be provided on at least one side and may be provided on three sides, for example.
- the depth (size) of a non-joining side 51 a (a part shown with a bold line in FIG. 9 ) of the first heat-sealing layer 5 a in the first concave portion 9 a is greater than the depth (size) of a non-joining side 51 b (a part shown with a bold line in FIG. 9 ) of the second heat-sealing layer 5 b in the second concave portion 9 b.
- the first concave portion 9 a and the second concave portion 9 b are formed so that the radius of curvature of the non-joining side 51 a of the first heat-sealing layer 5 a in the first concave portion 9 a is smaller than the radius of curvature of the non-joining side 51 b of the second heat-sealing layer 5 b in the second concave portion 9 b.
- the distance between the first concave portion 9 a and the second concave portion 9 b can be optionally selected provided that a gas barrier layer 6 a and a gas barrier layer 6 b are not impaired.

- the radius of curvature of the first concave portion 9 a and the radius of curvature of the second concave portion 9 b can be optionally selected provided that the gas barrier layer 6 a and the gas barrier layer 6 b are not impaired.
- Each first concave portion 9 a may have the same radius of curvature or may have a different radius of curvature.
- each second concave portion 9 b may have the same radius of curvature or may have a different radius of curvature.
- the most-depressed portion of the heat-sealing layer 5 in the first concave portion 9 a includes a thin portion 90 a where the heat-sealing layer 5 is thinner than the heat-sealing layer surrounding the most-depressed portion.
- the thin portion 90 a may be provided at two or more positions per side. In Embodiment 4, the thin portion 90 a is provided at four positions per side.
- the thin portion 90 a may be provided inside the vicinity of the outer circumference of the vacuum insulation panel 1 (the vicinity being 1 to 2 mm away from the outer circumference of the vacuum insulation panel 1 , for example), or may be provided outside the vicinity of the inner circumference 20 (see FIG. 2 ) of the sealed portion 8 (the vicinity being 1 to 2 mm away from the inner circumference 20 of the sealed portion 8 , for example).
- the thickness of the heat-sealing layer 5 may or may not be the same between the thin portions 90 a.
- the gas barrier layer 6 a and the gas barrier layer 6 b may be formed of metal foil as in the vacuum insulation panel 1 according to Embodiment 1.
- the gas barrier layer 6 a may be formed of metal foil and the gas barrier layer 6 b may be formed of a deposited film layer.
- FIG. 10 is a schematic sectional view of the configuration of a first thermocompression jig for use to produce the vacuum insulation panel according to Embodiment 3.
- thermocompression jig for use to produce the vacuum insulation panel according to Embodiment 3 is described with reference to FIG. 10 .
- a first thermocompression jig 10 made of metal includes a plurality of protrusions 11 (four protrusions 11 in the drawing).
- the protrusions 11 extend in streak, and the tip of each protrusion 11 is arched.
- the distance between adjacent protrusions 11 can be optionally selected.
- the radius of curvature of the tip of the protrusion 11 can also be optionally selected.
- the first film laminate 4 a in a rectangular shape and the second film laminate 4 b in a rectangular shape are prepared. Then, the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b are arranged so that the first heat-sealing layer 5 a of the first film laminate 4 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b of the second film laminate 4 b face each other, thereby preparing the multilayered assembly.
- Heat and pressure are then applied to three sides of the peripheral portions of the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b so as to heat seal the first heat-sealing layer 5 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b together, thereby preparing a bag-shaped film laminate.
- thermocompression is achieved by sandwiching the multilayered assembly of the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b between the first thermocompression jig 10 and a silicon rubber heater 12 (a second thermocompression jig).
- first thermocompression jig 10 heat and pressure are applied to the non-joining side of the first film laminate 4 a with the first thermocompression jig 10
- heat and pressure are applied to the non-joining side of the second film laminate 4 b with the silicon rubber heater 12 .
- the first heat-sealing layer 5 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b are heat sealed together to form the sealed portion 8 into a corrugated shape.
- a core material 2 and an adsorbent 3 Into the bag-shaped film laminate through its opening are inserted a core material 2 and an adsorbent 3 . While a vacuum is being drawn in the bag-shaped film laminate with a vacuum packaging device, the first heat-sealing layer 5 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b are heat sealed together at the opening to give the vacuum insulation panel 1 .
- thermocompression jig 10 is used for applying heat and pressure to the non-joining side of the first film laminate 4 a and the silicon rubber heater 12 is used for applying heat and pressure to the non-joining side of the second film laminate 4 b, as described below.
- first heat-sealing layer 5 a having lower density flows more easily along the contour of the first thermocompression jig 10 when forming the sealed portion 8 into a corrugated shape.
- the other reason is that, if the first thermocompression jig 10 is used for applying heat and pressure to the non-joining side of the second film laminate 4 b that has the second heat-sealing layer 5 b having higher density, tear edge may occur at the edge of the sealed portion 8 .
- thermocompression jig 10 and the silicon rubber heater 12 are used here to simultaneously conduct heat sealing of the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b and formation of the corrugated sealed portion 8
- the configuration is not limited to this.
- Another configuration may be adopted, for example, where a common platy jig is used on the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b to form the sealed portion 8 in which the heat-sealing layer has no thin portion and has substantially uniform thickness and, then, the first thermocompression jig 10 and the silicon rubber heater 12 are used on the resulting sealed portion 8 to conduct thermocompression so as to form the sealed portion 8 into a corrugated shape.
- a common vacuum packaging device is provided with a platy heat-sealing jig. Therefore, when sealing the bag made with the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b, use of the vacuum packaging device to seal at least the opening of the bag gives the sealed portion 8 having substantially uniform thickness in the heat-sealing layer 5 .
- the first thermocompression jig 10 and the silicon rubber heater 12 may be used for thermocompression to form the sealed portion 8 into a corrugated shape.
- the vacuum insulation panel 1 according to Embodiment 3 having such a configuration has the thin portion 90 a where the heat-sealing layer 5 of the sealed portion 8 is thinner than the area surrounding the thin portion 90 a. Because of this, in the thin portion 90 a, the area within the end face of the first film laminate 4 a or the second film laminate 4 b through which gas and moisture can enter is accordingly small. This increases resistance to permeation of gas and moisture and reduces the permeation rate of gas and moisture, and therefore the amount of gas and moisture permeating over time is reduced. As a result, the vacuum insulation panel 1 can maintain excellent hermeticity for an extended period of time.
- the sealed portion 8 has a corrugated shape with the arched first concave portion 9 a and the arched second concave portion 9 b. Because of this, the gas barrier layer 6 a and the gas barrier layer 6 b bend to form an arch and rarely form a sharp edge. As a result, incidence of cracks within the gas barrier layer 6 a and the gas barrier layer 6 b is extremely low.
- the heat-sealing layer 5 is thinner than the area surrounding the thin portion 90 a and accordingly the strength is lower by the loss of thickness.
- the sealed portion 8 has a corrugated shape with the arched first concave portion 9 a and the arched second concave portion 9 b, and therefore the thickness of the heat-sealing layer 5 increases and decreases continuously and gradually.
- the strength (flexural strength, for example) of the sealed portion 8 also increases and decreases continuously and gradually across the sealed portion 8 .
- external force is less likely to be applied locally in the thin portion 90 a of the heat-sealing layer 5 . Accordingly, incidence of cracks within or near the thin portion 90 a of the heat-sealing layer 5 is extremely low, and incidence of breaks within the sealed portion 8 is extremely low.
- the first heat-sealing layer 5 a and the gas barrier layer 6 b of the first film laminate 4 a and the second heat-sealing layer 5 b and the gas barrier layer 6 b of the second film laminate 4 b become distorted along the contour of the heat-sealing layer 5 and accordingly receive stress, potentially leading to a decrease in the strength of the first film laminate 4 a and the second film laminate 4 b.
- the ridge height of the non-joining side of the first heat-sealing layer 5 a of the heat-sealing layer 5 is greater than the ridge height of the non-joining side of the second heat-sealing layer 5 b of the heat-sealing layer 5 .
- the second film laminate 4 b supports the second film laminate 4 b to maintain the rigidity.
- the first concave portion 9 a and the second concave portion 9 b are arranged not to face each other as viewed from the thickness direction of the vacuum insulation panel 1 . Therefore, compared to the vacuum heat-insulating panel in PTL 1 where concave portions are arranged so as to face each other, a decrease in the strength caused by distortion of the sealed portion 8 can be low. Furthermore, when external force is applied to the sealed portion 8 , incidence of scratches in the sealed portion 8 is extremely low, incidence of breaks within the sealed portion 8 is extremely low, and incidence of cracks within the gas barrier layer 6 a in the first concave portion 9 a or within the gas barrier layer 6 b in the second concave portion 9 b is further reduced.
- the vacuum insulation panel 1 according to Embodiment 3 may further have two or more thin portions 90 a per one side of the outer circumference of the vacuum insulation panel 1 .
- the heat-sealing layer 5 is thinner and sealing strength is lower than in the other area of the sealed portion 8 . Therefore, when heat sealing of the film laminates is conducted during production and a glass fiber, a silica powder, or the like as a constituent of the core material 2 is sandwiched in-between, defective heat sealing may occur in the thin portion 90 a.
- the film laminate is less strong than the area surrounding the thin portion 90 a. Because of this, when external force is applied to the thin portion 90 a, the load may be locally applied to the thin portion 90 a. However, when a plurality of thin portions 90 a are provided, they serve to disperse the load applied by external force, resulting in extremely lowered incidence of cracks within the thin portions 90 a and extremely lowered incidence of breaks within the sealed portion 8 .
- the first thermocompression jig having a protrusion with an arched tip is used for thermocompression of the first film laminate 4 a.
- external force due to pressurization is also applied in the direction vertical to a tangent of the arch of the protrusion 11 , and therefore the resin in the heat-sealing layer 5 easily flows in the direction toward the both ends of the thin portion 90 a.
- the thickness of the thin portion 90 a of the heat-sealing layer 5 can be further reduced without changing the conditions during formation and, as a result, the amount of gas and moisture entering from the end face of the first film laminate 4 a or the second film laminate 4 b is reduced more easily.
- a heat-insulating box according to Embodiment 4 includes: at least one vacuum insulation panel according to any one of Embodiments 1 to 3, an outer casing, and an inner casing, in which the non-joining side of the first film laminate or the second film laminate of the vacuum insulation panel is fixed to a surface of the inner casing, the surface facing the outer casing, and a gap between the outer casing and the inner casing except for where the vacuum insulation panel is provided is filled with a foam insulating material.
